Mbappé makes history with goal involvement in every 2026 World Cup match

Kylian Mbappé continues to make World Cup history, influencing at least one goal in every match France has played in the 2026 tournament. On July 9, the French forward scored and assisted against Morocco, propelling his team to the semifinals for the third time since his 2018 debut.

Beyond his performance against Morocco, Mbappé scored twice against Senegal and Iraq in the group stage. He provided two assists against Norway and has been on a scoring streak in the knockout rounds, netting twice against Sweden and scoring France's sole goal against Paraguay. Data analysis platform Opta notes that the last player to achieve a similar goal involvement in a single tournament was Germany's Gerd Müller 56 years ago, who scored ten goals and assisted three.

Mbappé has participated in three World Cups (2018, 2022, 2026), winning in 2018 and finishing as runner-up in 2022. He is currently seeking his second World Cup title. Across these three tournaments, he has scored 20 of France's 46 goals, accounting for 43.47% of the team's total. His individual goal tally is remarkably high, surpassing the total goals of several national teams in the competition.

Furthermore, Mbappé has scored the game-winning goal for his team in eight different World Cup matches, a record for any player. France will face either Spain or Belgium in their next match on July 10. The French team aims to support Mbappé, who is determined to remain a decisive player.
